Lord of Ming Dynasty

After Liu Liangzuo was captured, he had a good attitude, and expressed his favor to Zhang Qiang, wanting to surrender.

The boy Liu Liangzuo was quite unlucky. Originally, he had the most troops left, but in the end, when he was retreating, he clashed with Hu Maozhen's army. When the two sides were fighting, Zhang Qiang led his troops to rush over, so he captured this man again. guy.

Ma Bao fled back to Yanping Mansion with the remnants of the defeated general, and was soon caught up. He fled from Yanping Mansion to Tingzhou Mansion again. Because of the limited force, Zhang Qiang did not pursue him any more. He left some troops to guard the city of Yanping Mansion, and led the army back. Pingnan County is now.

But Fan Shaozu was smarter. Seeing something was wrong, he fled overnight by boat. He first fled to Zhangzhou Mansion, but he felt bad, and then fled to Ganzhou. Tingzhou, and finally fled to Ji'an Mansion.

In short, Zhang Cunren and the soldiers of the Ming army and the Han army banner he brought were wiped out. Fan Shaozu, a loyal Qing army, escaped, but Liu Liangzuo was caught again. After some consideration, Zhang Qiang accepted him. , Emperor Longwu named him the chief soldier of Quzhou Prefecture.

Since the First World War, the Qing soldiers who lost nearly 20 troops in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces were no longer able to attack them.

This generation of surrendered generals of the Ming army who wanted to serve the Qing army and the loyal generals of the Ming Dynasty are almost dead, and many of them are relatively famous figures in history.

When he woke up, Zhang Qiang suddenly felt that the situation was very good.

Chapter 124 Infighting 1

Fan Shaozu who was beaten and defeated, the Mongols who threw away their helmets and armors, the Han Banner Qing soldiers who fled in all directions, and the Manchu Manchu Tartars who were captured and endured torture, all announced to everyone that the Ming Dynasty is not over yet. The imperial court still has the power to defeat the enemy and inflict heavy damage on the enemy, but who knows what is the matter, both sides need to recuperate, accumulate strength, and fight again when they are stronger.

Half a month later, the court of Longwu was anxious for the first time for the ministers to go to court to discuss matters.

Of course, this court did not invite Zhang Qiang to come to the court.

Zhang Qiang also didn't want to stand in the hall and bow his head to Emperor Longwu. Although he didn't coerce the emperor to order the princes, Zhang Qiang and Emperor Longwu had reached some tacit understanding.

Emperor Longwu glanced at the court, and there were civil servants: Jin Sheng, Minister of Officials, Zhu Dadian, Minister of War, He Kai, Minister of Rites, Su Guansheng, Minister of Household, Qian Bingdeng, Minister of Punishment.

The military officers are: Ruan Jie, the general soldier of Yanping Prefecture, Zhang Tianlu, the general soldier of Fuzhou Prefecture, Zheng Hongkui, the general soldier of Zhangzhou, Zheng Cai, the general soldier of Xiamen, and Huang Bingfu, the general soldier of Zhoushan. Under the jurisdiction of Huang Bingfu of Emperor Longwu, King Lu's regime was nothing more than a sojourn.

These are the main figures of civil servants and generals, and there are also some officials and generals who came to seek refuge, as well as some civil officials and generals recruited by these ministers. This court looks very lively, but in fact there are almost no useful backbone talents.

"If you have something to play, you will leave the court if you have nothing to do." Some eunuchs who had served Emperor Longwu before were recruited back and re-entered Emperor Longwu's palace to serve him.

The chief eunuch was a white-faced scholar-like middle-aged eunuch named Wu Wei, whose alias was Dingfeng, who was holding a whisk and shouted in a thin, sissy voice.

Qian Bingdeng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, came out and said, "I have something to announce."

Longwu Zhu Yujian nodded slightly, "Ai Qing can speak slowly."

Qian Bingdeng said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I impeach Zhang Qiang, the governor of Zhejiang Province, for his arrogance and arrogance. He has no court. He wastes food and pay but does not share the country's worries. He garrisoned troops at various passes and hesitated to move forward."

Zhu Yujian's eyes sank slightly, he really didn't want to talk about this matter, nor did he want to think about it.

Who is Zhang Qiang, since he was rescued by Zhang Qiang, he can see Zhang Qiang's ambition from Zhang Qiang's attitude and eyes towards him.

At first he was worried that Zhang Qiang would learn from Cao Cao and the Zheng family, but in the end Zhang Qiang just withdrew his troops and returned to Zhejiang, and left elite soldiers to help him guard the various passes. He just wanted to use his reputation as an orthodox vassal king to make his rebel army legal, but it was not like helping him restore Ming Dynasty.

After the two sides spied once, due to the current situation, he had to agree to Zhang Qiang's request and take the territory currently occupied by Zhang Qiang in Zhejiang as his fiefdom. He could not interfere with Zhang Qiang's Jinhua Rebel Army, which was only in crisis. Help him defend his regime.

Who is he, Longwu? In order to restore the Ming Dynasty, he can propose to appease Li Zicheng's remnants of Dashun, and propose to jointly resist the Manchus. Everyone stands in a trench and fights the Manchus instead of fighting among themselves.

Facing those half-hearted Ming gentry who were jealous and hated and couldn’t get used to those half-hearted gentry who cut their braids, when the Manchu Qing proposed to keep their hair, and vigorously persecuted the Ming gentry, he said: Whether it is shaved or unshaven, willing to shave Those who have hair are still unwilling to shave their hair. As long as everyone attacks the Manchus, they are the people of Ming Dynasty, and the court is unable to protect them, and they will not be held accountable.

This is also where he is wiser than the timid Yongli, the incompetent and lustful Hongguang, his younger brother Zhu Yuao who likes to fight among himself, and Zhu Yihai who has never had any opinions.

He is a relatively sensible and capable emperor among the Nanming emperors.

With Zheng Zhilong's lessons learned from the past, he doesn't want to let himself be an aspiring and ideal emperor again. Although Zhang Qiang's actions make him disgusted and dissatisfied, he still feels that this is also his chance. Yes, he has an opportunity to revitalize Daming, and he wants to seize this opportunity.

Zhang Qiang is an unpredictable person. Long Wu has experienced all kinds of hardships, and he also knows that now is not the time to pursue Zhang Qiang's disrespectful behavior. He can only use the current situation to strive to expand his strength, and solve it later Zhang Qiang's question.

He thought that when he had more territory, more soldiers and strength, maybe Zhang Qiang would submit to him.

In order to please Zhang Qiang, he even left Xiao Fei in Zhang Qiang's Jinhua Rebel Army who beheaded the Qing governor Zhang Cunren at the critical moment when he faced the Qing soldiers at the last moment, and stayed in Quanzhou Prefecture.

Generally speaking, he is not stupefied, and he does not want to repeat the mistakes of the Zheng family controlling him. He wants to strengthen himself. Zhang Qiang supported Zhejiang and sent troops to protect him. Li Chuang Dashun's remaining troops, and Zhang Qiangyi's army who helped him are really his allies.

Facing Zhu Yujian's silent and dazed look for a long time, Qian Bingdeng didn't know how to resolve this embarrassment. If Zhu Yujian didn't express his opinion, he had to stand there, waiting stiffly for Zhu Yujian's opinion.

This is the monarch and his ministers.

Seeing that Qian Bingdeng's impeachment didn't work, Zhu Yujian didn't say anything, and Su Guansheng stood up, "Your Majesty, in the whole world, is it possible that the king's minister is on the shore of the land, is it the king's land, Zhang Qiang is so arrogant and domineering, he doesn't listen to orders, What is the face of the imperial court, and how will it command the world after the Ming Dynasty, I feel that we should send Jin Yiwei to arrest him back to Beijing, seize his military power, and send him to prison to wait for participation."

As the chief envoy of Zhang Qiang's Jinhua Rebel Army, Jin Sheng knew Zhang Qiang's deeds and character, and knew that this was not the time to turn against Zhang Qiang.

Jin Sheng stood up, "Your Majesty, no, Governor Zhang Qiang has tens of thousands of soldiers, and he is the pillar of the country, the pillar of the country. Although he is disrespectful, he is still loyal to the country and the Lord. Just stay and check. Don't act recklessly, we The enemy now is the Tartars of the Qing Dynasty, not the loyal generals serving the country."

Although Zhu Dadian has a history of being bewitched and controlled by Zhang Qiang, after he failed twice, he also felt that there was no Zhang Qiang’s Jinhua Rebel Army. It is impossible to maintain it. The Nanming University Bachelor who has the most experience in leading troops feels that he should stand up and maintain the current situation.

Zhu Dadian also stood up, "Your Majesty, think twice before acting, and don't give up eating because of choking. Now our soldiers seem to be strong and strong, but in fact they are all mobs, not as elite as Governor Zhang's soldiers. The governor's soldiers must not destroy the city walls by themselves, do things that the Qing soldiers cannot do, things that make loved ones hurt and enemies happy."

Zhu Yujian glanced at a group of generals, all of them were watching their minds and their eyes, as if the matter had nothing to do with them.

They were all Zhang Qiang's defeated generals, and they served in the new court as generals. Of course, they would not offend Zhang Qiang, who was now powerful and had a higher official position than them.

Zhu Yujian fixed his eyes on Zheng Hongkui, "Zheng Aiqing, what do you think?"

Chapter 125 Infighting [-]

As the second largest warlord of the Longwu court, he was slightly weaker than Zhang Qiang on land. Zheng Hongkui, the leader of the pirate group who inherited a large part of Zheng Zhilong's sea power, was even more of an old man.

He knew who was relying on the Longwu court to escape from death, and sat in this position again. He was very jealous of Zhang Qiang at first, but after Zhang Qiang completed the mission of the savior of thousands of miles, he actually asked for a piece of land and then withdrew. This made him feel confused about Zhang Qiang. If they were Zheng brothers, they would have coerced the emperor to make the princes, and they couldn't figure out what he wanted.

He has more than [-] pirate warships, plus more than [-] navy warships of Zheng Cai, and thousands of warships. If it is a naval battle, Zhang Qiang's navy will be wiped out in minutes, and he will be able to quickly destroy Zhang Qiang's navy. The seaside towns of Wenzhou and Taizhou were all looted, but he knew that Zhang Qiang was not relying on the navy, but his [-] well-trained soldiers. He heard that there were also cannons and arquebus guns. Let him go ashore and fight Zhang Qiang. It was simply looking for death, so he just said: "Your Majesty, the Tartars are still alive, so don't fight with each other."

In fact, he didn’t say, I also have difficulties, I am not without enemies at sea, the Portuguese, the Dutch, because of Zheng Zhilong’s rebellion, the strength and power of Zheng’s pirates have shrunk seriously, and they have no form against the Dutch and Portuguese. Suppressed, the situation of the three parties at sea is worse than that of Nanming and Qing soldiers on the road. At the same time, he is still arguing with Zheng Sen and Zheng Chenggong over who will accept the legal rule left by Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Chenggong has threatened him and Zheng Chenggong Cai's sea forces are safe, and he is having a headache, and now he can control the land.

Obviously Zhu Yujian was very dissatisfied with his answer, but he didn't show this expression on his face, but asked nonchalantly, "Is there no better way?"

This matter was proposed by Qian Bingdeng and seconded by Su Guansheng. He looked at the two, and they obviously had nothing to do.

Zhu Yujian shook his head. How could he not know the nature of these courtiers of the Ming Dynasty? Once given a chance, once they relax, they always think about fighting for power and profit, crowding out and attacking political opponents. He is used to these things, and sometimes he can't help but take action , such as the King Lu family.

Back then, King Lu’s family sent envoys to ask him for help. He was still in Fuzhou, and had just ascended the throne with the support of Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Zhilong. King Lu agreed, but the courtiers of King Lu did not agree as long as he sent troops, and the envoys of King Lu did not agree with his court orthodoxy in terms of title, so he ordered Killed the envoy, and sent an envoy to King Lu, asking him to submit to himself.

But King Lu was also very angry, and killed the envoy he sent, making the two great Ming clans in the same situation, until King Lu was defeated, and King Lu's family was wiped out by Li Chengdong and the Tartar Borobile army, and everyone fled. King Lu went into exile in Xiamen, Zhoushan and other places.

Zhu Dadian rolled his eyes, "Your Majesty, if you want Governor Zhang to take care of you and serve our dynasty, you might as well get married."

"Marriage?" Zhu Yujian was taken aback.

Zhu Dadian said: "It's the emperor. If a daughter from the royal family marries her, he will have a relationship with the royal family. Even if he will not assist the emperor, he will try his best to protect the emperor and relieve the emperor's worries."

"But I don't have sisters or daughters." Zhu Yujian said.

Zhu Dadian took a step forward, "Your Majesty, I have a daughter named Zhu Panpan. The Emperor can adopt her as a righteous daughter, make her a princess, and then marry him. In this way, the Emperor doesn't have to worry about him rebelling against the court."

Su Guansheng was on the side, and muttered, "You are a treacherous and cunning person, it is you who want to become a relative of the emperor, but pretend to be thinking of the emperor."
